T" hearing of an appeal by J. Stamper (Farms), Ltd., Woodside, Dearham. Cumberland, against a decision by the Northern Licensing Authority, began on Tuesday before the Transport Tribunal in London.
The respondents in the case were the British Transport Commission, who were represented by Mr. J. R. C. Samuel. Gibbon. For Stamper's, Mr. T. H. Campbell Wardlaw said they asked for a variation of one licence by the deletion of one vehicle and the substitution of another, and wanted to add four tons to another B licence.
He submitted that to refuse the appeal out at handwould be quite wrong in the light of the circumstances, and he asked the Tribunal to allow it.
Mr. Samuel-Gibbon pointed out that Stamper's had three C-licence vehicles.
and were using only two. They had offered to surrender the one not in use if the Tribunal would grant the B licence, However, it would be unwarrantable to assume that because an increase in work could be shown for one month, the higher figures were due to two concerns going out of business some months earlier.
The hearing was adjourned until Wednesday.
